What is VPS?

What is a Virtual Private Server?

A Virtual Private Server (VPS) uses special software called OpenVz to split a robust high-end dedicated server in to multiple small-dedicated server type environments. Think of VPS as mini servers. This setup allows for a dedicated type environment with full root access and your own private secure partition, but without the high price of a dedicated server.


Who needs a VPS?

A VPS is perfect for sites that require more resources than regular shared hosting servers can safely offer, but don't need a full resource physical dedicated server. VPS's are also perfect for those who need their own customized Linux environment to run their web applications, those who need full root access to manage their sites or those who are simply seeking to isolate their operation from the disadvantages of the shared hosting environment.


Benefits of a VPS

  • Stability
    Each virtual private hosting server (VPS) is partitioned their own space, this means the activity of each is completely independent from one another. A crash on one VPS will not affect any other virtual servers.
  • Security
    Each VPS is isolated exactly as if it were one physical dedicated server, therefore the full security scheme a dedicated server has is identically found on each VPS allowing the integrity of your data on a VPS to be preserved at all times.
  • Performance
    Each VPS is allocated a specific amount of CPU, memory, and disk space resources. Each also has ability to burst in resource usage to maximum defined limits as needed, however, at no point in time is one VPS is able to consume all physical server resources. The end result: Reliable performance ALWAYS.
  • Control
    Each VPS is standalone where you are given total control. You decide what software to install, configure, and run. All this can be administered with the powerful, user-friendly control panel or via the command line.

Need more reasons to go VPS?

  • Managed VPS
    Don't know much about Linux and standalone virtual private servers? You don't need to be an expert or experienced user as all our VPS are managed. We handle all the security updates, software patches, and server node monitoring.
  • Email issues
    Due to ongoing and increasing spam issues, blacklists have been employed to help identify and block the source of the spam. If you are on a server where a domain has been spamming, the shared IP address of such server runs the risk of being blacklisted preventing you from sending email to other networks. A VPS is a solution to this situation.
  • Root access
    All VPS are given full root access. Add, remove, upgrade, downgrade, and customize configurations on your VPS, as you want them, where it fits your needs. As super user root you are privileged to deploy your own applications when you need them without prior approval.
  • Powerful Performance
    Our core node VPS platform servers are composed of Dual Processor 64bit AMD Opterons with dual-core technology and hypertransport technology. All servers include a minimum of four (4) 250GB hard drives and four (4) GB's of ECC registered memory providing an intense environment of burstability when needed.
  • Price
    Enjoy the benefits of a similar nature environment of a dedicated server for a fraction of the price. VPS solutions are affordable for startup and growing clients.
  • Reliability
    Unlike shared hosting, where if any single user ever runs a resource intensive script or a poorly written program all users functionality and performance is affected; a VPS eliminates this.
  • Support
    Full administrative technical support (Level 1, 2, AND 3) via email or support tickets is available to answer any of your concerns and provide you with solutions.
  • Flexibility
    Offer MORE. With a VPS you have the ability to provide more of your hosting users with more features, including reseller account reselling privileges.
